Shooting Brake

The Shooting Brake is a 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon that’s been modified in all areas. Subtle changes embody its Ford lineage, while the chassis, powertrain, suspension and creature comforts reflect state-of-the-art technology. The net result is a very unique high performance machine. This ride was unveiled in the ARP booth at SEMA 2017.
